Manleywoman skatecasts: some interviews now transcribed

Hey everyone. A very generous fan of my podcasts offered to transcribe highlights from each interview. Since some of the interviews are extremely long (a few are 1.5 hours) she's just doing highlights. I know some people here haven't been able to listen to the podcasts due to computer issues or other restrictions, and have asked for transcriptions. So I'm happy to be able to put this on the site!

#25 with Alexander Fadeev. We did this interview in a dingy hockey locker room. Yuck! But it was the only quiet place in the building with an outlet. Another guy who should have had an Olympic Gold medal. Sigh.

Alexandr was on fire in 1985. He really raised the bar both technically and performance - wise in Tokyo at the World championships.

The quadrennium from 1985 - 1988 featured so many strong male skaters, it was quite something that three world champions, Fadeev, Boitano, and Orser were the medal favourites heading into the Calgary Olympics.

I like the podcasts. I play them when I am stuck alone at the office working late. I chuckled at your comment to Frances Defoe about the knitted skating outfits - I thought everyone grew up wearing those!
